A Safer Digital Tomorrow
No jailbreaking, no rooting, and nothing your kid needs to configure themselves, since the setup happens once, on their device and yours, and mostly runs quietly in the background afterward.
Set up parental controls on Android or set up parental controls on iPhone in a few minutes, on your child's device and your own, using the same account so the two are linked automatically instead of paired manually.
Screen time limits, app blocks, bedtime hours and the apps you want visibility into, all configured from your own phone in one sitting, and easy to adjust later as your kid gets older or a new app shows up.
Open the parent dashboard whenever you want to see location, screen time or a flagged message, or just leave it running and get an alert only when something actually needs your attention, rather than a constant stream of notifications.
Every plan includes the same core toolkit, whether you're covering one phone or the whole family.
How to control screen time on kids phone usually starts here: see exactly how long your kid spends on each app, broken down by day and by app rather than one lumped total, and set a daily limit that actually enforces itself once it's hit, instead of relying on an honour system at bedtime that quietly stops working after a week.
An app to block apps for kids by name, or by whole category, like games during school hours or social apps after bedtime, without deleting anything they'd just reinstall five minutes later. A blocked app simply won't open until the schedule allows it, so there's nothing for a kid to work around by hiding an icon.
A parental control app with location tracking that works as a genuine GPS tracker app for kids, not just a last-known-location guess from hours ago, so "I'm on my way home" is something you can actually check against a map rather than take on faith.
A parental control app for social media gives you an activity summary on the apps your kid actually uses, flagging unusual spikes in activity or new contacts, without you having to log into their account yourself or ask them to hand over a password.
A parental control app to monitor texts flags concerning messages and unfamiliar contacts using pattern detection, without you having to read every single conversation line by line, which is really the difference between staying aware and reading a teenager's private diary.
A parental control app for family sharing and a parental control app for multiple devices in one, so every kid and every phone in the house sits on a single family plan, with a separate profile and separate rules for each child rather than one blanket setting applied to everyone.
The same account, the same dashboard — wherever your kid's device is, we've got you covered.
Put the power of digital parenting in your hands. Monitor app usage, screen time, location and more in real time. Keep your child safe online and help them build healthy digital habits.
A powerful parental control solution for iPhone. Stay informed, set limits and protect your child from inappropriate content and excessive screen time.
The perfect digital companion for tablets. Ensure educational and entertainment use stays balanced with smart monitoring and easy controls.
Built-in phone settings cover the basics. Here's where they usually stop, and why most lists ranking the best parental control app for a family put a dedicated app well ahead of relying on phone settings alone.

Once installed on your child's device and linked to your own, the app reports screen time, location and app activity to a dashboard you check from your own phone. It can also enforce limits or blocks directly on their device based on rules you set, so a rule like "no games after 8pm" is applied automatically rather than something you have to remember to check.
Yes, the full app, including location tracking and social media monitoring, is free to try for 14 days with no card required, so you can test it on your family's actual devices and see what fits before deciding on a paid plan.
Our free Android tier covers screen time limits and app blocking, which handles most day-to-day needs on its own. Location tracking and social media monitoring are part of the paid plan, and you can upgrade at any point without losing the settings you've already configured.
Yes, by design. The app is visible on their device rather than hidden, and we'd encourage talking to your kid about why it's there before you set it up. Parental monitoring tends to work better as an agreement both people understand than a secret one side eventually discovers.
Yes, the GPS tracker shows current location plus a history of where the device has been that day, updated every few minutes while the app has a signal, and you can set up alerts for when your kid arrives at or leaves a specific place, like school or home.
Yes, the parent dashboard works the same regardless of which phone you carry yourself. Only your child's device determines the setup steps and which specific features are available, since Android and iOS allow slightly different levels of access.
Yes, the family plan covers multiple children and multiple devices under one account, with a separate profile and its own rule set for each kid, so a ten-year-old and a teenager don't end up under the exact same restrictions.
Both. The same app and account cover an Android or iPad tablet, so a device that mostly stays on the couch after school gets the same screen time rules and app blocks as a phone that leaves the house every morning.
